The Freshman Mayor: 19-Year-Old John Hammons Won Mayoral Race

I think that he is a histroy maker!..and I think this young man is very blessed!...I understand that the older generation feels us younger people need more "age" to feel as though we have wisdom...but I will tell you one thing, wisdom has no age!..just as stupidity has no age either... you see older people everyday acting immature, like children.....I hope he does a great job at what he does and remains in office at that!.....I plan to run for mayor here in chicago when I turn 23 or 24 and I am 21 now!!!........no offence, but just because you are older, doesn't nessarily mean you have the best answers and the most wisdom...experience does count, but please people, let the young man shine!...he might just help you all out in a tremendous way!

And perhaps he has good ideas!..I mean to get majority votes over 40,000 people?...that's pretty impressive!

Do your thing John!...we will be sure to meet one day!..good luck and keep your eyes on the prize sir!

I agree greatly with you, Greg. He hasn't yet made any mistakes, it's all just assumptions and speculation at this point.

I look forward with genuine excitement to see the results of such a young mayor. As a former citizen of Muskogee, I hope it works out well, 'cause it kinda needs some improvement.

Hey Bean, sorry I had a typo of forgetting a zero...anyway, Alexander the Great was king of Macedonia at age 20, young people can do great things. It's the old bastards on here putting him down that make we young people so apathetic towards politics. Why don't we let him take office and do some things first before we judge him?

maybe he'll be president one day.

"he isn’t even old enough to drink, rent a hotel room, or rent a car."

well, that'll keep him out of a lot of the trouble mayors seem to get into. :-)
